Volvo S90 Car: Two Powerful Hybrid Motors
Two versions of the S90 are now available. The first one is the regular S90, activated by a mild hybrid motor. The second is the S90 Recharge, a rechargeable hybrid version.
For the first one, the old T6 motor was replaced by the B6. This engine is a 4-cylinder turbo combined with a 48 V hybrid system, which allows to optimize its performances and consumption. The Volvo car has 295 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque.
As for the rechargeable hybrid version, it is activated by a T8 motor, which functions on an 11.6 kWh battery. This allows it to reach 400 hp and 472 lb-ft of torque! Also, it’s possible to drive it in EV mode for distances going up to 61 km to reduce its carbon emission.
For better stability during tough road conditions, all-wheel drive is standard with every sedan. In both cases, the motor combines with the 8-speed automatic gearbox named Geartronic. It’s also possible to drive in manual mode!

Volvo S90 Interior: A Luxurious Compartment
Is Volvo a luxury brand? The answer is yes. After all, Volvo constructs high quality vehicles. As explained by the Motortrend experts:
“While German or Japanese marques have somewhat rested on their laurels,
the one from Sweden must work harder to stand out. The result is excellent.”
Therefore, although we still don’t associate such prestige to Volvo cars, they offer a high level of luxury and unique models.
The quality of the interior finishing of the S90 confirms this. The coating is composed of sumptuous Nappa leather or even a mix of yarn. The passenger compartment is filled with these materials, as well as woodwork (ash or oak) that matches with the inside colour.
In fact, the S90 by Volvo comes in 6 colours for the interior, including lighter and darker shades, browns, greys and blacks. There’s even an exclusive piece: A crystal gearshift lever made by Orrefors artisans.
The visual aspect isn’t the only strength of the Volvo S90 interior, which is, more than anything, spacious and comfortable. The front seats can be adjusted many ways thanks to:
- Seat extensions
- Memory electrical settings
- Lumbar support in 4 directions
- Heating function
- Ventilated seats
- And much more!
As for the back-seat passengers, they benefit from much legroom in the mid-size sedan.
Volvo’s S90: Intuitive Technologies
Connectivity is an important aspect in today’s vehicles. Buyers look for a system that’s fast and easy to use. That’s in part what inspired Volvo to integrate Google functionalities to its infotainment system.
Navigation is simplified thanks to the integration of Google Maps, along with Play Store that lets you download any apps you want. Also, it’s easier to interact with your vehicle or doing research with the Google Assistant.
Volvo: Safety Is a Priority
Volvo vehicles are renown for their exemplary safety. Volvo Canada is no exception, and we now have many driving assistance technologies, including:
- Lane departure warning system
- The Pilot Assist
- Traffic lights information
- Front and back parking assistance
- And much more.
All in all, Volvo’s S90 is a refined, powerful, and safe vehicle!
